It was less dramatic this time, but that’s how inevitabilities go and also how reruns often play out.

The Chargers announced Tuesday that Junior Seau will finally be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame at a Nov. 27 ceremony, the day the Chargers host the Denver Broncos.

Seau, after spending time watching practice with team president Dean Spanos and then addressing the current Chargers players, joked about his redo of an announcement at Chargers Park.

“Alright guys,” he said in an opening line to the media, “I think we’re going to try this retirement again. Take two.”

Seau actually retired more than a year ago, after seven seasons away from the Chargers team he started out with and played for 13 years. But in 2006, he stood at Chargers Park and announced his “graduation” before signing four days later with the New England Patriots. The Chargers had planned to induct him into their Hall of Fame that season.

Seau played for the Chargers from 1990-2002. He spent three seasons with the Miami Dolphins and then played for the Patriots for at least parts of his final four seasons in the NFL.
